Design And Evaluation Of A Code-Switching-Aware Multilingual Conversational Ai System Using Advanced Rag Architectures, Ashutosh Juvale

Master’s Dissertations

Conversational artificial intelligence has become the primary interface through which hundreds of millions of users in India seek information and customer support. Yet the way these users actually write and speak is fundamentally at odds with the monolingual assumptions baked into most retrieval and generation systems: they code-switch, fluidly mixing one or more of the twenty-two scheduled languages of India with English, frequently typing Indic words in the Roman script ("mera refund kab tak aayega"). Standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines silently fail on such input — the retriever returns off-topic passages because the query and the knowledge base live in …


Telluric Correction Of M-Dwarf Stars Using Machine Learning, Sayak Rana Jun 2026

Telluric Correction Of M-Dwarf Stars Using Machine Learning, Sayak Rana

Master’s Dissertations

The study of M-dwarf stars is of prime scientific interest to us because of their closer habitable zones and the favorable conditions they offer for exoplanet detection. However, telluric contamination of the ground-based spectra results in sharp absorption lines, which makes their study cumbersome. Removing this contamination is necessary for estimating key stellar parameters. The central contribution is a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that retrieves the four atmospheric parameters governing telluric absorption: pressure, temperature, humidity, and airmass. These predicted parameters are passed to Telfit which produces an estimated telluric spectrum. The observed spectrum is then divided by this estimated …
